The National Road: Ohio
Springfield to Indiana
About 10 miles east of the Indiana state line, the remains of a Hines Truck Stop (1) stands.  This small piece of Roadside America's past is located at the intersection of US 127 and US 40.  Mike Austing, who took photo of the building shown below, recalls visiting the stop numerous times in the late 50s and early 60s.

Below another view of the old Sinclair gas truck stop as seen by Sam Feldman.

The National Road in Ohio is full of various road, historical, and Americana features.  If you would like to assist in this project with anything from corrections, to new ideas, stories or photos, please e-mail me at aprince27@gmail.com.
